Hello, I'm seeking advice. My MIL has been in a residential facility due to her ALZ. She has been in a decline in the past few months. Today, she tried to leave the facility, and while the caretaker tried to get her back in the house, MIL pushed the caretaker, ran off, fell and injured her knee. The caretaker called us and we were at the home within 15 minutes. Once we got there, she struck me and the caretaker while my husband called 911. She's in the ER as we speak to treat her knee injuries. We live in Northern CA, about 35 minutes from Sacramento. She has about $1600/mo in SSI, and no other income. We take care of the difference between that, and what the facility is charging, plus her health insurance. We have a great seniors organization for a resource, but we could really use some help from those that have lived and still are living the battle. Thanks. You've been very helpful in the past, I need your help again.
It maybe time for LTC. She probably will qualify with only getting 1600 a month. Your income does not come into it.
